October 19, 2009. Choral works
This week we present a rather unusual selection of choral works. We start with an excerpt from Rachmaninov’s The Vespers: Bogoroditse Devo (Ave Maria), sung by the National Collegiate Chorale of Scotland. We continue our Russian theme with Ya Raduyus, the setting of Psalm 114 by our contemporary and Oregon native, Tim Pack. We’ll finish with the three pieces from Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols: Procession, Bulalalow, and Recession. They are sung by the delightful Brighton School Chamber Choir from Adelaide, Australia under the direction of Michael Griffin. The soprano in Balulalow is Heather Muggridge. To listen, click here.
